CASING FOR VACUUM-B OTTLES.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, PAUL O. E. FRIED- nion, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia,- State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Casing for Vacuum-Bottles, of which the following is a specification; My invention relates to a new and useful case for vacuum or other-bottles and consists in providing an outer casing having a suitable receptacle therein resiliently supported and adapted to receive and embrace the lower portion of the bottle:

It further consists of a resilient support for the neck of the bottle. a It further consists of other novel features of construction, all as will behereinafter fully set forth. I a

lligure 1 represents a sectional viewmf a casing embodying my invention ShOWElHg the bottle in position. Fig. 2 represents a perspective VleW of the resilient su port for the bottle in detached position. l lg; 3 represents a side elevation of the closure-for the bottom of the casin Fi 4 represents a perspective 'view of t e resl ient support for the neck of .the bottle. 1

I have found in practicethat in the vacu um bottles-now in use that owing to the usage to which they liability to breakage owing to falls etc. that it is necessary to -ovide asuitab e=sup ort for the bottle Wit 1in the outer casing which support will not shocksbut will also hold the bottle in its proper position in the case. r .ll

It will be noted that the lower portion of the=closure 5 is curvedout- Ward! as zit-13 forming an annular recess 14 and t at the ends of the springs forming thesupport =l0-are adapted to bra-inserted and restin-this annular recess 14 in order to-hold' the arts in position to-prevent accidental disp acement of the s 'rings- 10 and the re ceptaele support y alt ough providing that the same can be removed therefrom, as desired: v!

l7 designates a recess or cut away portion in the rece tacle support 9 which permits seatin of t 1e sealing teat 2 so that the receptac e 9 is prevented from contact therewith, thus preventing breaking of the same. From the above it will be understood that I have provided a resilient support for the bottle which can be removed or replaced in position as desired, and that the shocks or ars incident to the use of the article will be taken up by the spring su port and the resilient ring 15 so that brea age of the bottle 1 is revented.

t will be apparent that by my novel construction the vacuum bottle can be readily inserted into or withdrawn from the case for .purposes of cleanin inspection or sterilization. One of the 'therto previous drawbacks to all metal covered temperature bottles has been the difficulty of replacing the lass part, if by any chance it should become roken, which has heretofore required the returning of the case to the factory for a new glass part, makingit almost as expensive to repair a broken bottle as to purchase a new one. Another drawback has been that to put the old style bottle withits metal case in boiling water in order to bleanse or sterilize it, usually meant the end of the bottle, because the cement fastening of the bottle in the case gave we. and the water and ii uid would work do between the two, ma g both foul and sub'ect tobreakage from the slightest knock. lBy my present invention wherein the detachable closure or bottom is employed the latter can be readily removed by asim le twist and the lass bottle being entirely isconneeted at a times from the case can be withdrawn and re laced at a moment's notice, whereby the c caning and stenhzing'of the bottle is rendered an easy 45 matter so that it can also be used for all liqpids especially those subject to fermentaion.

So far as I am aware, I am the first in the art to produce the concrete unitary struclaimed and my claims to the herein described features are therefore to be interpreted with correspondm scope.
